AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
407 AM EDT WED MAY 4 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
AN AREA OF BROAD HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER THE REGION TODAY AND
LINGER THROUGH THURSDAY. A FAST MOVING UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL
THEN MOVE OVER THE NORTH CAROLINA MOUNTAINS ON FRIDAY FOLLOWED BY
ANOTHER SURFACE HIGH BUILDING BACK OVER THE ARE ON SATURDAY AND
REMAINING IN PLACE THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
LAST ROUND OF SHOWERS MOVING OUT OF THE FOOTHILLS INTO THE PIEDMONT
OVER NC AND INTO THE ERN UPSTATE OVER SC. THESE SHOWERS SHOULD BE
EAST OF I-77 BY DAYBREAK THEN OUT OF THE CWFA SHORTLY THEREAFTER.
EXPECT SOME TEMPO GUSTY WINDS THRU THEN AS WELL.

UPPER TROF AXIS MOVES OVER THE AREA TODAY AS A CHANNELED SHORT WAVE
ROTATES AROUND THE BASE OF THE TROF. THE BEST DPVA...AND CENTER OF
THE MID LEVEL COLD POOL...WILL BE TO OUR NORTH. HOWEVER...ENUF LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE WILL MOVE OUT OF THE MTNS FOR A FEW SHOWERS TO
DEVELOP IN THE WEAK FORCING AND INSTABILITY THAT WILL DEVELOP. THESE
SHOWERS SHOULD BE LIMITED TO THE NRN MTNS AND THE I-40 CORRIDOR.
THAT SAID...THERE SHOULD BE QUITE A BIT OF CLOUDS THAT DEVELOP OVER
THE FOOTHILLS AND PIEDMONT OF NC AND THE ERN UPSTATE WHERE THE
MOISTURE WILL BE HIGHEST. BREEZY WINDS WILL DEVELOP OVER THE MTNS
WITH SOME LOW END GUSTS POSSIBLE OUTSIDE OF THE MTNS AS DEEPER
MIXING DEVELOPS NEAR NOON. HIGHS SHOULD BE NEARLY 10 DEGREES BELOW
NORMAL ACROSS NC  AND THE ERN UPSTATE WHERE LOWER THICKNESSES AND
MORE CLOUDS DEVELOP WITH HIGHS AROUND 5 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL NE
GA/WRN UPSTATE.

TROF AXIS MOVES EAST OF THE AREA TONIGHT AND CENTER OF SFC HIGH
PRESSURE DROPS TOWARD THE AREA. SKIES WILL CLEAR AND WINDS DIMINISH
AS GRADIENT RELAXES OVER THE CWFA. ALTHOUGH RADIATIONAL CONDITIONS
WILL NOT BE THE BEST...THEY SHOULD BE DECENT. LOWS SHOULD END UP
AROUND 10 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL...EXCEPT NEARLY 15 DEGREES BELOW
NORMAL NC PIEDMONT. THIS SHOULD BE COLD ENUF FOR WIDESPREAD FREEZING
TEMPS OVER THE NRN MTNS AND OVER THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE
SMOKIES AND BALSAMS. WILL FOLLOW TRENDS OF THE PREVIOUS FCST AND GO
WITH FREEZE FOR THE NRN MTNS ONLY SINCE IT IS MAINLY THE HIGHER
ELEVATIONS ELSEWHERE. WILL GO WITH A FROST ADV FOR THE REST OF THE
NC MTNS AND RABUN CO GA AND PATCHY FROST SC MTNS...HABERSHAM CO GA
AND THE LOWER ELEVATIONS OF THE NC FOOTHILLS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 245 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING...THE SHORT TERM FCST PICKS UP AT 12Z
ON THURSDAY WITH THE CLOSED H5 LOW ROTATING OFF THE NEW ENGLAND
COAST AND AN UPPER RIDGE AXIS BUILDING OVER THE CAROLINAS. A WELL
DEFINED UPPER SHORTWAVE WILL APPROACH THE CWFA EARLY FRI AND MOVE
OVER THE AREA DURING THE DAY/EVENING WITH ZONAL UPPER FLOW
REESTABLISHING ITSELF BY THE END OF THE PERIOD EARLY SAT. SFC HIGH
PRESSURE CENTERED JUST TO OUR NW WILL KEEP CLEAR SKIES AND LIGHT
WINDS OVER THE REGION ON THURS WITH HIGH TEMPS REBOUNDING SLIGHTLY
TO JUST BELOW CLIMATOLOGY. TEMPS WOULD BE EXPECTED TO REBOUND
MORE...YET LINGERING NORTHERLY FLOW WILL KEEP THICKNESSES FROM
RISING SIGNIFICANTLY ON THURS. AS THE SFC HIGH SLIDES OFFSHORE ON
FRI AND THE UPPER SHORTWAVE APPROACHES...A LIMITED AMOUNT OF LOW/MID
LVL MOISTURE COULD GENERATE LIMITED PRECIP OVER THE NC MTS AND
FOOTHILLS...HOWEVER BY EARLY SAT UPPER SUPPORT IS EXPECTED TO
DWINDLE AND LOW LVL FLOW WILL BECOME MORE DOWNSLOPE. LATEST MODEL
SOUNDINGS GENERATE SOME SMALL AMOUNTS OF SFC BASED CAPE OVER THE
SAME AREA SO SOME ISO TO SCT THUNDER IS POSSIBLE...BUT THAT SHOULD
BE ABOUT IT. TEMPS STEADILY CLIMB ON FRI AND SAT WITH HIGHS NEAR 80
ANTICIPATED FOR THE PIEDMONT AND FOOTHILLS.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 3 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING...THE MEDIUM RANGE FCST BEGINS AT 12Z
ON SATURDAY WITH RELATIVELY FLAT UPPER FLOW OVER THE AREA AND SOME
WEAK H5 SHORTWAVE ENERGY TO OUR NW. LONG RANGE OP MODELS AGREE THAT
BEGINNING EARLY NEXT WEEK HEIGHTS WILL STEADILY RISE AS ANOTHER
UPPER RIDGE BUILDS OVER THE SE CONUS AND A DEEP UPPER TROF DIGS DOWN
OVER THE ROCKIES. AT THE SFC...HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE IN CONTROL OF
THE SENSIBLE WX FOR THE FIRST PART OF THE WEEKEND. AS THE HIGH MOVES
FARTHER EAST ON SUN...A STALLED SFC BOUNDARY WILL SET UP TO OUR
NORTH OVER THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY AND LINGER THRU MON. WEAK SOUTH TO
SW LOW LVL FLOW WILL PERSIST OVER THE FCST AREA FOR MUCH OF THE
PERIOD WITH WINDS BECOMING LIGHT AND VARIABLE AT TIMES. NO MAJOR
CHANGE WRT THE SFC SYNOPTIC PATTERN IS ANTICIPATED UNTIL BEYOND DAY
7 WHEN THE NEXT SIGNIFICANT FRONTAL SYSTEM APPROACHES. THE BEST
CHANCE FOR PRECIP WILL LIKELY BE SUN AFTERNOON/EVENING AS BOTH THE
GFS AND ECMWF GENERATE A PLUME OF HIGHER RH VALUES OVER THE NORTHERN
PORTION OF OUR CWFA. BEYOND THAT...I INCLUDED JUST A SLIGHT CHANCE
POP FOR THE NC MTS AND PORTIONS OF THE FOOTHILLS TO ACCOUNT FOR THE
POTENTIAL FOR SCATTERED SH/TS ASSOCIATED WITH WEAK UPSLOPE FLOW EACH
DAY. TEMPS WERE NOT MODIFIED MUCH AND SHOULD REMAIN WELL ABOVE CLIMO
WITH HIGHS IN THE LOW TO MID 80S FOR THE LOWER ELEVATIONS AND MID TO
UPPER 70S FOR THE MTS.

&&

.AVIATION /08Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AT KCLT...COLD FRONT HAS MOVED EAST OF THE AREA BUT POST FRONTAL
PRECIP WILL CONTINUE THRU DAYBREAK. EXPECT WINDS ON EITHER SIDE OF
NORTH THRU DAYBREAK AS WELL. RESTRICTIONS WILL BE LIMITED TO SHOWERS
MOVING OVER THE AIRFIELD. LOW VFR WILL SCATTER OUT AROUND DAYBREAK
AS DRIER AIR MOVES IN. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL MOVE BACK IN OVER THE
AREA ON NWLY FLOW LIKELY PRODUCING A HIGH BASED CU CIG FOR THE
AFTERNOON. SKIES CLEAR AGAIN DURING THE EVENING WITH NLY WINDS
RETURNING.

ELSEWHERE...SIMILAR TRENDS AS KCLT. SHOWERS OVER THE AREA MOVE EAST
BY DAYBREAK WITH RESTRICTIONS LIMITED TO SHOWERS MOVING OVER THE AIR
FIELD. KAVL THE EXCEPTION WHERE MVFR CIGS WILL LINGER UNTIL
DAYBREAK. WINDS WILL BE NW TO N...XCPT WLY EARLY AT KAND AND GUSTY
AT KAVL...EARLY THIS MORNING. WINDS BECOME W TO NW AS LEE TROF
DEVELOPS DURING THE DAY...EXCEPT CONTINUED NLY AT KAVL. LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE MOVES OUT OF THE MTNS AND ACROSS THE AREA DURING THE DAY.
HEATING AND COOLER MID LEVEL AIR WILL PRODUCE CLOUDS OVER MOST OF
THE AREA WITH ISOLATED SHRA POSSIBLE AT KHKY. SKIES CLEAR DURING THE
EVENING WITH NLY WINDS RETURNING.

OUTLOOK...A CLIPPER SYSTEM WILL BRUSH THE AREA ON FRIDAY BEFORE
HIGH PRES RETURNS AGAIN OVER THE WEEKEND. CONDITIONS SHOULD STAY VFR.
